Tales Of Graces F Confirmed For US

Namco had a lot to talk about at their annual Level Up event, and that includes great news for role-playing fans.

The publisher has revealed that Tales of Graces F will come to the PlayStation 3 in North America. It's the latest title in the long-running and critically acclaimed Tales franchise, and will become the first PS3 installment to reach the US. During a war between three kingdoms competing for planetary dominance, Asbel Lhant and his friends will redefine the nature of comradeship and fight for what they believe. The game lets players "freely change attack style depending on the battle situation," and weapons can be switched out for different styles. Plus, the combat will be easier to control thanks to "new levels of tactical depth. For all you JRPG fans out there, you've been waiting for this, haven't you?

The only downside is that Tales of Graces F won't be ready to go until next year.

No word on a Euro release? And it seems that the PS3 may well get two Tales games in '12 with Xillia supposedly releasing then in Japan. Maybe if the support is strong enough in the West, they'll get their fingers out for the localisation process.
Peace.

EDIT: Never mind, it has been confirmed. Yay!Last edited by Lawless SXE on 5/11/2011 1:27:07 PM

I really like DQIX but it's no DQVIII. DQVIII is one of those rare gems. Such a good game. I'm with you. I really only have three JRPGs's that I can call my favorite, FFVII, Chrono Trigger and DQVIII. The story is there in DQIX, it's just a bit more bite sized. There is less emphasis on the cast. DQVIII seemed to really focus on character development and getting the player to fall in love with them. DQIX...not so much. Still a good game though.

If you're talking about the most recent Ar Tonelico game, then yes, it's similar. Except you're not limited to bursts of attacks. You can button mash your way to victory if you want =P Or if you set up the short cuts, you'll be able to use certain abilities in the middle of your combo. So, it's a mix of both Ar Tonelico 3 and FF, in that you can combo as much as you want but you can also select special skills/magic. So as shadowscorpio said, it feels like Star Ocean.

ANOTHER RPG!?my lord, whats with all the market saturation?almost got as many RPGs as we do shooters!wish developers would stop milking the cow, and breed a new one.dying for some new fresh platformers, horror and puzzle games!portal 2 is good, but how many times can you play the same game!?

Finally a timeframe for the release of the game! But...it sucks is only next year...damn it, namco...I wanted to play this year.I just hope they don't release it in the same week of a final fantasy game or other big releases like it happened with Abyss....
